Mark is setting up his special birthday present on the front yard.His 39th birthday BBQ had to be retired this summer after 6 years of active duty.

The sewing projects accumulate during spring and summer and they make the perfect way to spend the cool, fall and winter evenings and weekends. Since the garden is sleeping for the next few months, the interior of the house is getting most of my attention.

The windows are getting new curtains and the living room is repositioned to its winter layout.

Cozy reading corners close to the fireplace are well used during the holiday season.

Mark is sitting in Grandpa Houghton's chair, reading his book and warming up his toes by the fire.

Buck and Spitz are warming up on the back yard. They don't worry about a thing!

We had the first snowfall two weeks ago, but it warmed up the next day and it has been sunny ever since. Mark took the babies for a wood cutting trip this afternoon. We need to keep collecting firewood, while we can.

Never know... soon enough it might be illegal to cut wood again and THEN how the heck are we going to create our share of pollution to increase the global warming?

Burning oak and pine in the fireplace does not cause any pollution does it?

It sure keeps us warm!

This is not our house but it could be.

If our fire department did not have such stringent regulations about fire safety and abatement, we would line our stacks all around the house also.

It has insulation value, and all you have to do on a cold winter day to keep the fire going is to reach out the window.

Instead, we need to stack our wood away from the house, along the property line.

Not too big of a walk though, because who can afford too large of a property as long as half of our income has to pay for whatever the BOYS in Washington determine to be important...

We have enough wood to contribute to the "reduction of global warming" for the length of the next presidential term.

I would like to start drilling for fossil fuels in the back yard as well, since nobody else wants to do it, but Mark says, my Black & Decker will not reach too far in the bedrock and there is not much down there to reach anyway.

I am so worried about this global warming thing ... but so long as the chickens are not running around on my yard I will be OK.

Luckily, there is one thing we have to NOT be concerned about any more. That is the moral standards and ethics in our society.

We survived two things lately. First, the mockery of a Roman Catholic Holiday.Second, and most important, we lived through the greatest fraud in US Government History.The media did a wonderful job, like always, in promoting junk.

Bravo America! We are voting for COLOR instead of principle.We ARE idiots!!!

If Obama were gay, that would REALLY be cool!I feel bad for him though, poor guy... Hope he willbe allright and pull this off.

The good thing about socialism, if it's practiced correctly, that people are NOT equal.

Mark was reading the Moscow News yesterday. He is thinking about imigrating to Russia to experience living with a fair government. (I think)The russian media is not much better than the american apparently.They say:..... many people are starving in america....the dollar is weak.....the donation of $1.00 will buy sixteen meals in the US.....please help the poor americans.....Cute eh?
